Renowned Yoruba Author resurfaces Who killed Dele Giwa, na Na Baba, if you put Gida na You Sabi, Phrase

 

Renowned author Richard Akinnola has recalled how Afrobeat legend Fela Anikulapo-Kuti reacted after the death of journalist Dele Giwa.

He recounted the exchange, saying Fela’s reply was both direct and cautious. He made his point without openly naming anyone, showing awareness of the risks that came with such accusations during that period.

Speaking on the Edmund Obilo Show from 18:56, Akinnola said Dele Giwa, the founding editor of Newswatch Magazine, was killed in 1986 by a parcel bomb at his Lagos home. The assassination shocked Nigeria and remains unresolved.

In Akinnola’s words, “When Dele Giwa died, a reporter asked Fela, ‘Who killed Dele Giwa?’ He replied, ‘I know say na baba.’ But if you put ‘Gida,’ you are on your own.” See, More, Here>>>>
